Bicycle Mechanics - Campy Synchro/Indexed Downtube shifters

I have a set of 7-sp only, 1989 Chorus, I think, and a set that has the little lever on the side. I also have 2 blue inserts and 1 yellow insert.

What I don't have, is a set of instructions on how to mount them. I've mounted them two different ways so far, and can't get an index "click." They just swivel.

The Chorus has a matching RD/FD/Regina America freewheel, and I'd like to mount them right, as a 7-speed.

The other set, which has the little lever on the side, I'd like to mount as a 6-sp.

Several questons:

1-Is there a .pdf out there with the blow-up diagram for these?

2-Which insert is 6, which insert is 7?

3-Can I use the 6-sp with a Shimano 600 freewheel?

Thanks.

1-Dont know
2-Dont know
3- No, not with indexed levers- the gear spacing is different for campy and shimano, you can use them in friction mode

edit-the table on the link below seems to indicate that these shifters can be used with shimano compatible. unusual for campy

here see if this site helps any:

it appear that yellow is 6 speed and blue is 7 speed based on the table on this site

the previous post reminded me of something. I have my '94 parts/service manual. is shows synchro2 but when I get home tonight I will try and scan the 'exploded' view for you it might help.

Here is the PDF: http://www.yellowjersey.org/photosfromthepast/syncro.jpg
I don't have the instructions here with me, I can scan them tonight for the inserts.

Amazing help, folks, and I have successfully assembled a 7-sp group onto a bike. I have also got the 6/7 done, I think, and taped it in place and put it in a ziploc, for when I install it.

It was pretty much trial and error. I was stuck for a while, thought I had the wrong shifter bosses.
A dowel and a mallet um, helped.

Now, if I can just figure out where the seat post (Campy 2-bolt) and saddle (Body Geometry) went in May, I can finish.

Thanks again, all who assisted. The tables were right on, blue for 7.

Bianchigirll, if you can, that would be great. I got a set of 8-sp in today, for another bike, and though it has fewer parts, I'm not tempting fate with the Trial and Error thing too many times.....

Again, BF proves to be the deal.

8spd what? DT shifters? Campi ones? where could I get a pair so I can dump my dura ace LOL

here I hope this helps

Everything helped. How can anyone turn down help from someone named Bianchigirll...?
